Wasn't that the same day as the SAS storming the embassy and I think the world snooker championship final was also the same day. I remember thinking what an action packed day

"CMS is far better striker than Murray will ever be as his goal record shows. But it's not all about scoring.CMS work ethic and all round game is better.
I don't reckon Murray will cut it at this level and you will soon see how slow he really is. This is a to bigger step up for him i reckon"

Forest away in the SIMOD cup, Feb 1989. Left straight after school, dad drove, got there just after kick off. Lost 3-1 and then straight back home again. Good work by my dad who didn't (& still doesn't) follow football at all!

Francis missed that penalty late on. Kenny scored for us that day - I was there with my Grandad as well!

It's was a double exciting game for me. My first away game and also my birthday

I remember Francis taking the penalty, I thought he scored it, but now you come to mention it Sansom's name and scoring is vaguely coming back to me. Not bad for 34 years ago! I still have the programme. My Grandad made me a massive football pitch birthday cake.

1974 Delboy....... the day Don Rogers left as part of the deal with QPR, I would have said it was a Friday night game packed with Palace in front of one of the stands as well as at one end. Taylor was great that night but think it was Chatterton that scored, interesting train journey back into London

Edit 2 1 Delboy was 1976

It was the 1-0 '74 I was referring to as my first. I was in with the southend! I was also at the 2-1 as well. I was 15 :-)

lol Francis was playing for them, next game was Manchester United away lost 2-1 in the league cup, got there late and missed all the goals

Reminds me of 2007 went to Colchester Away. Latvian, Kirby, Slovak Eagle and I totally underestimated the walk from the pub we were in to Layer Road. Turned up 10 mins late and missed us go 1-0 up and Colchester have a man sent off. Been to some shocking Away grounds, but being in the Away end there quite literally felt like being shoved in a sheep pen at a farm.
